MSME Classification Rules (Revised from 1 April 2025)
MSME stands for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. For the meaning, benefits and the Udyam certificate, see MSME full form, meaning and classification.
The Government of India revised the MSME classification criteria to a composite formula considering both Investment and Annual Turnover. The distinction between manufacturing and service sectors has been eliminated.
| Classification | Investment Limit | Turnover Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | Up to ₹2.5 Crore | Up to ₹10 Crore |
| Small | Up to ₹25 Crore | Up to ₹100 Crore |
| Medium | Up to ₹125 Crore | Up to ₹500 Crore |
Frequently Asked Questions
How are Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises classified in India?
From 1 April 2025 the limits are: Micro: Investment ≤ ₹2.5 Crore and Turnover ≤ ₹10 Crore; Small: Investment ≤ ₹25 Crore and Turnover ≤ ₹100 Crore; Medium: Investment ≤ ₹125 Crore and Turnover ≤ ₹500 Crore. Until 31 March 2025 they were ₹1/5 Crore, ₹10/50 Crore and ₹50/250 Crore.
Must both investment and turnover criteria be satisfied together?
Yes. If an enterprise crosses the ceiling limit specified for its present category in EITHER investment or turnover, it moves up to the next higher category. Both limits must be satisfied to remain in a lower tier.
Is MSME turnover calculated PAN-wide or GSTIN-wide?
PAN-wide. All GSTINs and business divisions registered under the same Permanent Account Number (PAN) are collectively aggregated as a single enterprise for turnover and investment calculations.
Are exports of goods and services included in MSME turnover?
No. Under Section 7(5) of the MSMED Act, export of goods or services or both is strictly excluded when computing the turnover of any enterprise for MSME classification.
Is this tool a live Udyam portal verification check?
No. This is an eligibility checker based on statutory investment and turnover thresholds. Live Udyam certificate verification or registration must be completed on udyamregistration.gov.in.
Can retail and wholesale traders register on the Udyam portal?
Yes. Retail and wholesale traders (NIC codes 45, 46, and 47) can register on Udyam, but their eligibility is restricted strictly to Priority Sector Lending (PSL) benefits. They cannot claim Chapter V delayed payment interest under Section 16.
Does Udyam registration cost money on the official portal?
No. Udyam registration on the official Ministry of MSME portal (udyamregistration.gov.in) is 100% free of cost. No government fees or charges exist.
Is a GSTIN mandatory for Udyam Registration?
PAN and GSTIN are linked for Udyam registration. However, enterprises exempt from mandatory GST registration under the CGST Act (e.g. turnover below statutory threshold) can register without a GSTIN.
How is the value of plant, machinery, and equipment calculated?
Investment is calculated based on the Written Down Value (WDV) at the end of the preceding financial year as reported in the Income Tax Return, excluding the cost of land, buildings, and pollution control devices.
What happens if an enterprise crosses the threshold limits?
In case of upward graduation to a higher category, the enterprise continues to enjoy its existing category benefits for a transitional period of one year from the close of the year of breach.
